Prabhu Ganesan - Charismatic, Affable and Underrated.

In an interview with Mano (Manathodu Mano), it seems initially NT didn't want Prabhu in it, saying he may not be ready for heavy role. But Ganggai Amaran said, the role requires him to hang around and do nothing "velai vetti illama oora sutura character" , to which NT immediately agreed :lol:

Digression: After the success, and due to his own arrogance about the title having nothing to do with the film, GA did another film called Kokkarakoo...(paraphrasing and shortened version of the conversation with Mano)

GA: Padam release producerkitte dates-a talli poodasonnen, yeena makkalukku kaasu illa. Release pannunangga, so Padam oodala.
Mano: Yen odala?
GA: Paavam, makkalukku kaasu illa.
Mano: Yen kaasu illa (I too was expecting recession or some sort of answer).
GA: Ellarum veera padam paartutangga. :lol:

The matador theme for maaduverattum mayilakaalai is an under noticed gem

yaroda padam ethu....

Saw parts of Chinna Mapillaiin one of the channels. We all know that it did very well in the box office. A very hilarious film in which Prabhu & Radha Ravi really rocked.

Pramani

A village story told in a simple manner. A Panchayath President who is bent upon amassing wealth through corrupt illegal means rules the roost in the village. Neither the arrival of new Panchayath Board Secretary [a Govt Employee] who is determined to clean up things, nor the admonishing teacher with whom he shares a special relationship could make him see reason. And when he goes to the extent of sacrificing the entire agriculture land in his village for a soft ware company in return for a huge kickback, things reach a flashpoint.

The protagonist one day suddenly reaslises that money is not everything and tries to turn a new leaf but that is resisted by his own kith and kin which comes as a shocker to him. It almost turns up the whole village against him. As if this is not enough a very serious crime allegation is hoisted on his head. How he wriggles out of the imbroligo he finds himself in forms thr rest of the story.

Not much to boast about, writer director B.Unnikrishnan had sort of a redone his earlier offering Maadambi which also had the same background mileu. For the viewer it is very apparent that the movie is taken forward more by dialogues than visual. The director had tried to highlight some socially relevant issues faced by rural Kerala today like that of agriculture lands being taken away in the name of progress but it is more of a cosmetic in nature.

The character doesn't demand anything extraordinary from Mammootty and he has a stroll in the park. Sneha as Panchayath Board Secretary looks slim and attractive in simple sarees. Lakshmi makes a comeback after a long time and her Rosy teacher is a significant one.

Prabhu - For me it was a disappointment as he turns up just in 4 scenes out of which 3 pass by as background. He has only one scene of dialogue and emoting and ofcourse he does it with elan. Probably the chance to share screen space with Mammootty must have lured him.

Time pass movie.

Regards

Thanks for the review, Murali-sar.

As for Prabhu, why am I not surprised that you are disappointed? :(
